Quantitative Literacy

Beschreibung

 This title prepares students to become informed consumers of quantitative information with coverage that balances discussions of ideas with computational practice. Through a wide range of examples and applications, the authors show students that they use maths in their everyday lives more than they realise, so students can learn maths in real-world contexts. Students develop the critical thinking and problem solving skills to make intelligent decisions regarding money, voting, politics, health issues, and much more.
"Try It Yourself" activities follow many examples to give students an opportunity to test their understanding."What Do You Think?" exercises encourage students to apply their critical thinking skills as well as their verbal and written skills."In the News" sections throughout the text contain articles gleaned from newspapers, magazines, and Internet sites to lead to discussions of mathematics as part of everyday life."Rule of Thumb" feature provides hints on making estimates without appealing to complicated formulas for exact answers."Algebraic Spotlights" refresh the algebra skills that may be beyond the scope of a course but pertinent to the discussion.new_to_this_edition Example updates have been made throughout the text.Improved explanations and presentations on linear vs exponential, finance charges for credit cards, frequency tables and histograms and the Knaster procedure
